You seem to have misunderstood even more than just the point about the
smb slave... Because the proposal is, to give kio-fuse more weight by 
making it a more prominent member of the KIO family: because with its 
help, all non-KDE applications (and even commandlines) can access all 
remote resources just like KDE apps can.

   "- With kio-fuse, even for non-KDE apps I can now use kioslaves

A patient goes to the doctor and says: "Doc, I was born without arms,
but here is this brilliant artificial pair of limbs that lets me do
almost 70% of what people with grown arms can do, and they cost almost
nothing. I want them!" The doctor says: "No, I don't do that. Stay what
you are, cripple!"
